We have had this chestnut stuffing recipe every Thanksgiving for my entire life (26 years — that's a lot of stuffing!). It is truly a family tradition. Trust me, this is the best stuffing you'll ever taste. A big "thanks" goes out to my Nana, the best cook in the Midwest.

Ingredients

2 cups chestnuts
1 ½ cups margarine
½ cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 (1 pound) loaves day-old bread, cubed
3 large eggs
¼ cup milk

Directions

Cut slits in the surface of chestnuts with a sharp knife. Place chestnuts in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, peel, and chop.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in chestnuts, onion, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium baking dish and mix with cubed bread.
Beat together eggs and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle over cubed bread mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until the surface is crisp and lightly browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
